I have recently gotten a hold of some classics again and wanted to look into getting a bit of a better image quality (currently i only have a simple hdmi adapter for them).
Looking into upscalers they seem, very very pricey?
Is that the norm around these parts?
I am not looking for ultra 4k hd fancy stuff, just getting thigns to be a bit sharper and more pleasent to look at.

But stuff like retrotink 5x pro are just as much and more some of these consoles.

Is retrotink the next option for price?
It would only be for for a ps2 and a wii

Unfortunately its the down side of trying to upscale a PS1 or PS2, its fine with a cheaper one, for example you could get a retrotink 2x or something else and use that to convert to HDMI, it won't be as clean as the 5x and you would still have the issues with games that switch resolutions causing the HDMI signal to drop for 3-4 seconds, but it would work. I just know from experience how annoying it is when I want to play one of those games, so for me it was worth it, and it was a lot cheaper when I bought mine...
